“This was passed from a friend who is a firefighter and he would make these when it was his turn to cook for the crew. These are requested at every get together now. When finished baking, you can grill to get a softer pepper skin. Enjoy!” - by MANDY1975

30 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
30 small smoked sausages (such as Lit'l Smokies®)
1 (1 pound) package thin-sliced bacon, cut in half
60 toothpicks
1/2 cup barbeque sauce

"Call the recipe police, I tweaked! I had half a pkg of Smokies that needed using. My jalapeños were really big and long so instead of setting the sausages into the cream cheese I processed the two t..." See moreogether then filled the peppers. I didn't have bacon but did have a pkg of real bacon bits so I turned the peppers upside down into the bits. I intended to brush with BBQ sauce before doing the bacon but forgot so I used that for dipping. Unfortunately my jalapeños were totally without fire so that element was missing. I will play with this again with smaller peppers and might add green onions and cilantro to the cream cheese."

"Wrapping the bacon completely around is a must as the jalapenos soften while baking and make them tough to eat as finger food. I found the the bbq sauce you use changes this dish a lot. My family li..." See moreked a sweet and smoky bbq sauce. Good stuff!"
